ideas busy enough
I have another Russian idea, too, with a place and a period, so I guess I have enough to keep me busy for quite some time, especially considering that I'm such a slow writer.
interesting people research
The research is the most interesting part… That’s how I work. I go some place and I walk it and I talk to people until I find what I’ve come for. Or not. Fortunately, I tend to find what I’m after.
writing idiot used
I used to be treated like an idiot, now I'm treated like an idiot savant.
great-things
The great thing about being a writer is that you are always recreating yourself.
catholic church unions
When Hitler came for the Jews... I was not a Jew, therefore, I was not concerned. And when Hitler attacked the Catholics, I was not a Catholic, and therefore, I was not concerned. And when Hitler attacked the unions and the industrialists, I was not a member of the unions and I was not concerned. Then, Hitler attacked me and the Protestant church - and there was nobody left to be concerned.
libertarian-party catholic liberty
First they came for the Jews, but I did nothing because I'm not a Jew. Then they came for the socialists, but I did nothing because I'm not a socialist. Then they came for the Catholics, but I did nothing because I'm not a Catholic. Finally, they came for me, but by then there was no one left to help me.
thought-provoking catholic lasts
First they arrested the Communists - but I was not a Communist, so I did nothing. Then they came for the Social Democrats - but was not a Social Democrat, so I did nothing. Then they arrested the trade unionists - and I did nothing because I was not one. And then they came for the Jews and then the Catholics, but I was neither a Jew nor a Catholic and I did nothing. At last they came and arrested me - and there was no one left to do anything about it.
laughing catchy laugh-at-yourself
If you can laugh at yourself, you are going to be fine. If you allow others to laugh with you, you will be great.
thought-provoking long enemy
It took me a long time to understand that God is not the enemy of my enemies. God is not even the enemy of God's enemies.
stronger doe catchy
That which does not kill you will ultimately make you stronger.
speaks-out talking holocaust
Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a socialist.
freedom mean men
Ask the first man you meet what he means by defending freedom, and he'll tell you privately he means defending the standard of living.
father heart eye
More than fifty-five years ago my father told me, "The Bible does not belong on the shelf but in your hand, under your eye, and in your heart."
freedom silent nazi
When the Nazis came for the communists, I remained silent; I was not a communist.
